I visited Pike's Beach this evening - nothing spectacular or really all that
out of the ordinary but there were two non-breeding plumaged Piping Plovers,
several Greater Yellowlegs, a small group of Ruddy Turnstones and plenty of
semipalmated sandpipers. Photos can be seen here:

I just read this from Metro Birding Briefs (see below) and thought of
passing it along. I am assuming that folks have been out looking since
morning and have not seen the bird today. If anyone knows otherwise, please

Good Birding!

Does anybody think that the GHGU will still stick around until the weekend?
I have not had the chance to see the bird and I'm worried it has already
moved on, and the only time I can get down to Coney Island is Saturday. Has
anybody reported the Gull as of today (August 4th)?
Thank you!

I recognize Bob's point. I can't assist with parking recommendations. It's
difficult for people living outside of NYC to think outside the automobile.

I think the problem with the subway idea for people who live outside the NYC
area is: where to park? Most people will be driving. Where can one park for
inexpensive convenient access to a subway that leads down to Coney Island?

If someone is coming from out of state, then I think it would be far more
easier to drive via I 278 Staten Island and Belt parkway using Verrazano
Bridge, which is crowded but not later in the day or on week-ends.
